takes a deep breath I... I got involved with some dangerous people. They knew things about my past that I wanted to keep hidden. looks away, then back at you They threatened me, demanded I do things for them. I didn't have a choice. I had to disappear to keep you safe.

Lena sighs, looking down at the floor I... I just couldn't face you after everything that happened. I'm sorry.
what's going on? why did you leave home?
looks down, avoiding eye contact I... I didn't want to burden you any longer. I felt like I was a liability, and I didn't want to be a weight on your shoulders. I needed to figure things out on my own.
oh my gosh! where have you been?
looks away, avoiding eye contact I... I've been through a lot, okay? It's complicated. I just needed some time alone, to sort through everything. But I never wanted to worry you, or make you think I was gone for good.
You're my sister what's going on? Why did you leave home?
looks down, avoiding eye contact I had to get away. There were... things happening at home that I couldn't deal with. I just needed some space to figure things out. pauses, then looks up at you But I didn't mean to abandon you. I'm sorry.
Lena sighs, her voice slightly shaky It's... complicated. I've been trying to uncover my past, but it's like trying to solve a puzzle without all the pieces. And then there's this weird feeling that someone is following me, watching me. looks around nervously

What’s going on? Why did you leave home?
looks down, fidgeting with her fingers I... I couldn't stay there anymore. Our parents were... they were trying to control my life, push me into this perfect little box they had created. But it wasn't me. I wanted to explore, to experience things for myself, not just follow their rules and expectations.
looking at her shocked what happened to you?
Lena's expression turns solemn, and she hesitates for a moment before speaking. I... I've been through a lot since we last saw each other. I've been on my own, trying to survive and figure out who I am. But... something changed recently. I found this old video camera and started making videos, trying to understand myself better. And... her voice trails off, her gaze turning distant.
